More pics using the SS-2's in full manual mode, as well as a short video using the 2000 lumen heads. Note, conditions in SoCal have been pretty crappy lately, including limited viz and really surgy.

I did my first dives with the SS-2s/2000 lumen heads. The output from the video lights was great, easily on par with the Sola 2000's. As it was first time using strobes since the film days, I feel I have a little bit of learning to do. Some pics from the dive attached. Photos taken using a Panasonic GX85 in Nauticam housing, with Olympus 12-50 lens. I had the lights on full power for the majority of the first dive, as well as doing about 70 strobe fires. The battery light was flashing and LED power was diminishing after about 75 minutes (80 minute dive). I was a little more conservative with the video lights on dive 2, and easily got in an 80 minute dive before my GX85 battery died. Argh!
Since you shoot with the GX85 I was hoping you could answer ta question I have if it can produce accurate manual white balance at depth without use of a filter. I know the LX10, LX100, and GH5 can. The G8 and GH5 can't. Hoping for a mirrorless Panasonic for freediving and split shots. What do u think of the camera for underwater photography?

I'm afraid I still have the same answer I had over at wetpixel.

Where will you be most of your diving? If in Hawaii with good viz and ambient light, I'm sure the MWB will do the trick.
